Catholics gravely persecuted Hussites who became Moravians, drove them underground, eventually to Rotterdam and to Philadelphia, where they disembarked and settled first in Berks County, PA then walking to North Carolina where they established their Southern Province. These are my mother’s people.
Your history is deficient. I suggest reading something other than the Catholic Encyclopedia, which is very evidently self-serving. Priests must have written it.
They held out a long time though with their war wagons.
